In this allegory from Attar's Mosibat Nameh, the image of a schoolchild weeping out of fear of their teacher's punishment for unprepared lessons represents the spiritual anxiety of facing God on the Day of Judgment without having prepared one's soul. Upon hearing the child's sorrow, a spiritual master is deeply moved, realizing that his own state of spiritual negligence (ghaflah) is identical to that of the child. This narrative highlights the Sufi theme of spiritual vigilance (yaqzah), the necessity of constant self-reckoning (muhasabah), and the fear of divine accountability.
